The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the results of the CSIR UGC NET December 2025 exam. Along with the results, candidates can now access their scorecards to see subject-wise marks, percentile scores, and whether they have qualified.
Those who took the exam can check and download their scorecards from the official website: csirnet.nta.nic.in.
According to CSIR, over 1.5 lakh candidates were evaluated in various subjects for eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), Assistant Professor posts, and PhD admissions. The results are based on the final answer key and the normalisation process. The scorecards show if a candidate has qualified for JRF, Assistant Professor (Lectureship), or both, based on merit and subject-wise cut-offs.

Candidates who qualify for JRF can apply for fellowship positions, receive research funding, and pursue PhD programmes at recognised universities and research institutes. Those who qualify for Assistant Professor eligibility can apply for teaching jobs in universities and colleges across India, following institutional recruitment rules.
Qualified candidates should keep checking university admission portals and recruitment notifications because CSIR NET does not hold centralised counselling. The scorecard will be an important document for academic appointments, PhD admissions, and research fellowships in upcoming admission cycles.
Final answer key released yesterday
Earlier on January 30, the NTA released the final answer key for the CSIR UGC NET December 2025 exam, which was taken by over two lakh candidates. In the final key, the agency has dropped three questions. Candidates can download the PDF of the final answer key from the official website – csir.nta.ac.in.
The computer-based CSIR UGC NET December 2025 exam was conducted on December 18 in two shifts across the country. The final key has been published after considering the objections and challenges raised by candidates on the provisional key. NTA stated that some questions have multiple correct answers, and marks will be awarded following the official evaluation rules.
The CSIR UGC NET is a national-level exam that determines eligibility for the Assistant Professor post, awards the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), and offers PhD admissions in various science disciplines.
